Not to beat a dead horse....but I am stumped. I have an 07 Super Glide FXD and am replacing the fugly buckhorn bars with a set from Wild Ones (t-bar with a 6" rise). The bars fit beautifully and all the cables are good to go. The problem lies with the stock one-piece speedo that encases the speedo head and the indicator lights in one black casing bolted to the old risers on the handlebar. I have found a bracket to take care of the speedo and turn it downward so the speedo is in front of the tank. I need something to accomodate the indicator lights. I'm really trying to avoid replacing the stock speedo with a Dakota Digital that has all the indicator lights built in. If anyone has had a similar mod and can provide some pics or part #'s, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you fellow Dynariders.

This is what I did with mine,
Took some scrap 1/4" aluminum, attacked it with a dremel, drilled it, and bolted it between the risers and the clamp.

Have looked at the Sportster custom speedo mounts, from 1999-2003 it is a straight riser and 2004 and up it has a slight curve in it, it holds the speedo and indivcator lights. These risers have about a 5 inch rise.

not to hijack this thread, but I am also having a similar problem. I have a 1998 dyna superglide with custom 1 1/4 inch drag bars with build in risers. I am looking to replace my triple tree to a custom 3 inch raked one, but obviously this tree doesnt have the holes for the standard dyna speed mount on two pegs and I am looking for some options. THe usual handle bar mounts dont seem to work to well with by drag bars, so any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated, thank you.

I just had thought. Stand back I don't know how big it's going to get.

I remember seeing within the past few months, there is a company that makes top clamps that are milled to accept the indicator panel. I saw it in either The Horse Backstreet Choppers or American Iron Mag.

If I come up with the info I'll post it.
